This case report describes a 52-year-old black woman with diffuse scalp swelling and thinning hair attributed to a large increase in the thickness of scalp subcutaneous fatty tissue.

This study found that acanthosis nigricans and skin tags in nondiabetic, obese patients were significantly associated with higher insulin levels, suggesting they may serve as clinical markers of hyperinsulinemia.

This study suggests that sexual dimorphism in adipose tissue functions may be linked to androgen levels, as women with PCOS demonstrated a more masculine adipokine expression pattern.

Women with PCOS have higher 5α-reductase activity, which may be linked to insulin resistance.

Women with AGA have higher lipid levels, increasing heart disease risk.

This study describes a case where finasteride treatment for benign prostatic hypertrophy was associated with gynecomastia in a 62-year-old man, which resolved after the drug was discontinued.

This review discusses the complex and variable presentation of polycystic ovary syndrome, emphasizing the need for consistent diagnostic criteria and individualized treatment strategies but reports no new clinical results.

Healthy aging can be promoted through physical activity, lifestyle changes, and certain treatments.

This study found that women with PCOS displayed significantly higher activity of 5alpha-reductase, suggesting an additional role for liver and peripheral tissues in their androgen excess.

This study found that women with PCOS have higher activity of the enzyme 5alpha-reductase, which may contribute to their elevated androgen levels.

This study found that obesity is associated with several skin conditions, such as striae and pseudoacanthosis nigricans, which may serve as markers of excessive weight.

This review discusses the multifunctional role of subcutaneous adipocytes, their contribution to metabolic and pathological processes, and reports no new experimental results; it suggests potential protective roles against metabolic syndrome.

In this case report, an 11-year-old girl was diagnosed with lipedematous scalp, a condition typically observed in adult women, based on clinical features and histopathological findings.

This report describes the third known case of lipedematous scalp in a 51-year-old woman, marked by progressive thickening of the scalp without hair loss, and notes its association with early meningitis symptoms.

This study found that glucose starvation and hypoxia are physiological triggers of ER stress in in vitro differentiated adipocytes, rather than high concentrations of saturated fatty acids, cholesterol, or proinflammatory cytokines.

This study observed that successful weight loss following bariatric surgery may improve some skin conditions and metabolic profiles, but also may lead to a decrease in vitamin B12 levels, suggesting a need for nutritional supplements.

This article discusses the role and potential of plant stem cell extracts in cosmetics for their antioxidant and protective effects on skin cells, reporting no new clinical results; the authors highlight ecological and sustainable production methods.

This review article discusses the aesthetic impacts of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic (semaglutide), including "Ozempic Face," skin sagging, and loss of lean mass, and explores potential recovery methods such as biostimulators, HIFU, endolaser, and PRP.

This study found that obese individuals commonly experienced skin manifestations such as acanthosis nigricans, hyperandrogenism features, and increased cutaneous infections compared to non-obese individuals.

This study found that in mice, high-fat diets quickly reduce the skin's ability to transfer heat, while diets preventing obesity increase skin energy loss, suggesting the skin plays an active role in energy metabolism and lipid regulation.

This perspective suggests that browning agents may not directly enhance UCP1 expression in white adipose tissue but instead induce browning through increased heat loss, prompting thermogenesis to compensate.

This research abstract provides no results, focusing on the equal contributions of the authors in the field of molecular, cellular, and developmental biology from Yale University.

In this study, mice fed various high-fat diets showed changes in dermal white adipose tissue lipid composition, with decreases in essential omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for skin health.

This review discusses the definition of polycystic ovary syndrome proposed by the AE-PCOS Society Task Force, emphasizing hyperandrogenism, ovarian dysfunction, and excluding related disorders, while noting potential variations needing more research.

This consensus report reviews current knowledge and identifies knowledge gaps concerning the various health aspects of polycystic ovary syndrome, without presenting new clinical findings.

This guideline from the Endocrine Society recommends using the Rotterdam criteria for diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome and outlines first-line treatments, emphasizing hormonal contraceptives and lifestyle intervention.

This paper reviews the diagnostic criteria, associated morbidities, and possible evolutionary advantages of polycystic ovary syndrome, but does not report any new findings.

This article reviews the clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and possible genetic and environmental influences of polycystic ovary syndrome but provides no new research findings.

This review emphasizes the need for comprehensive guidelines to address the cardiometabolic and psychological features of polycystic ovary syndrome, alongside its reproductive aspects, and reports no new results.

This review examines the relationship between polycystic ovary syndrome and cardiovascular disease risk, but reports no new clinical findings; the panel calls for guidelines to prevent CVD in this population.
